The K2 Raider All-Mountain skis are exceptionally versatile and built for the athletic skier seeking performance at an exceptional value. Built on the proven 78mm chassis, this ski has the widest performance envelope in our line. The Apache Raiders feature Marker M2 11.0 TC Bindings.

MOD Technology Praised by magazine tests and validated by skiers around the world, MOD Technology has proven to be the ultimate in ski design today. MOD combines an elastometric secondary core that works as a high-performance suspension system and mass damper to provide the highest degree of ease, power, forgiveness and performance available in skis today. The amount, application and distribution of mass are the keys to the success of MOD Technology. At K2, unlike any other manufacturer, our application of mass via the MOD structure does not affect flex, allowing the ski to perform freely while MOD absorbs unwanted vibrations independently.

MOD Monic Fully integrated within the MOD structure, MOD Monic is an extension of MOD technology, focusing the benefits of mass dampening into a concentrated area. The entire surface of a ski benefits from the MOD structure, but some areas need it more than others. Independent studies at Boeing Laboratories determined precisely where to place the Monic by finding the area of the ski that would benefit the most from additional mass. By targeting a specific area, we aren`t needlessly adding weight. Monic allows for the majority of the MOD structure to be lightened, and have the extra mass focused precisely where it increase performance.

Triaxial Braided Developed by K2 in 1988, Triaxial Braiding is still the best known process of applying fiberglass to a wood core. This process consists of sending a milled wood core through the patented Triaxial Braiding machine, where the core is wrapped by interlocking strands of fiberglass. This unique method produces skis that have a great deal of torsional rigidity and strength, while maintaining all the lively characterisitics of a wood core ski.

M2 Binding system The M2 Ski-Binding System is an integrated binding technology engineered by K2 and Marker. It is designed for high performance and recreational skiers alike, utilizing a floating toe and a fixed heel design to generate more power, precision and quickness underfoot. The M2 systems` sleek design is graphically integrated into the look of the ski in both the Apache and T:Nine series.
